It doesn’t matter where you work in Lubbock; the same cast of characters can be found in every business. You may think your coworkers are unique, but…we’ve all pretty much got the same bunch, just different flavors.<\/p>\n

The Lubbock Cowoker Breakdown (It’s Scientific AF)<\/p>\n

\"womanPhoto by Compagnons<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>woman in pink shirt sitting in front of black laptop computerThe Breakfast Dealer\"roundPhoto by Isaac Quesada<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>round doughnuts with sprinkles<\/p>\n

Every morning, this person shows up with a sack of burritos or a box of donuts from that yummy spot down the street. They are basically everyone’s unofficial breakfast delivery service. Get in good with this guy, and you’ll have the hook-up on kolaches.<\/p>\n

The Space Heater Criminal\"ClosePhoto by Donald Teel<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>Close up of the control panel on a space heater.<\/p>\n

It’s over 100 degrees outside, and for some reason, they still have a space heater under their desk from winter, AND they are wearing a hoodie and two pairs of socks. They are always freezing, and they say, “Gosh, it’s cold in here!” every time they pass you at the water cooler.<\/p>\n

The Local Celebrity\"crowPhoto by Alicia Steels<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>crow of people<\/p>\n

This person knows everybody in town and can barely make a quick lunch run without stopping to chat with 2 or 3 people. They are super popular at work, in their personal life, and everywhere in between.<\/p>\n

The Snack Fairy\"cookedPhoto by Maksim Shutov<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>cooked beans<\/p>\n

They keep the breakroom stocked with candy and leftover birthday cake. Next to the breakfast dealer, they are everyone’s favorite coworker.<\/p>\n

The One Who Never Takes A Vacation (And Reminds You About It Every Day)\"personPhoto by Daniel Thomas<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>person using black and silver laptop computer<\/p>\n

This person refuses to take a day off work and then wears that fact around like a badge of honor. They are obnoxious, and EVERYONE desperately wants them to take a long, long, long vacation. Like. Now.<\/p>\n

But…they can’t… they’ve got\u00a0too much paperwork to do, and…<\/p>\n

The Facebook Reporter\"APhoto by Ingmar<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>A close up of an iPhone on a white surface<\/p>\n

You haven’t even had your morning coffee, and they are already spilling the tea on someone’s midnight Facebook post meltdown. This person will keep you informed, whether you want to be or not.<\/p>\n

The One Who Has Been There Forever\"manPhoto by Tim Doerfler<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>man sitting on beach wearing white, purple, and black sport shirt<\/p>\n

This employee is a relic from the past. They are always talking about the “good old days, back before we (insert something frustrating the company did without consulting them).”<\/p>\n

The Energy Drink Guzzler\"blackPhoto by thom masat<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>black soda can<\/p>\n

They are wide awake and ready to tap their pen enough to drive you totally insane.<\/p>\n

The Office Parent\"rectangularPhoto by Franck V.<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>rectangular white case on gray surface<\/p>\n

This person always has ibuprofen, Tums, stain remover, a phone charger, and, I’m willing to bet, jumper cables when you need them.<\/p>\n

The Loud Talker\"boyPhoto by Jason Rosewell<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>boy singing on microphone with pop filter<\/p>\n

You can hear them on a phone call all the way down the hall with their door closed. You get used to it. When they aren’t at work, it’s just too quiet.<\/p>\n

The Loud Walker\"blackPhoto by mostafa mahmoudi<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>black leather boot on white surface<\/p>\n

This person is usually a woman in heels. You can hear her coming long before she gets to you, stomping those thangs the whole way there.<\/p>\n
